Answer 1

You must set the culture on each call, Session_Start is only fired when a session is created. So your culture is correct only on first call or when the session is recreated.

You may want to save the culture in a Session variable and use an override InitializeCulture in your pages, as described in: How to: Set the Culture and UI Culture for ASP.NET Web Page Globalization.
